In San Francisco (as well as other cities I've lived in) they put police in the middle of intersections during rush hour to guide traffic (i.e., stop cars before they drive into an intersection that they'll get stuck in the middle of). Seems woefully inefficient
- bluGill 12d agoWhen traffic is really heavy humans are better than machines at getting traffic through. However they cost a lot of money and so are only rarely worth the cost.
- WalterBright 12d agoThe traffic cops greatly improve throughput. Imagine how much gas would be saved if the city spent a little effort on the traffic lights.
